    What's special

    Cozy fireplaceLakefront retreatWine roomCovered front porchPrivate primary suiteTwo walk-in closetsMaster bath
    Discover the warmth and charm of this lakefront retreat in the heart of Lake Almanor West — a home designed for gathering, relaxing, and savoring the beauty of the mountains. Perfectly situated across from the community tennis courts and just a short walk to the golf course and recreation area, this property offers an ideal blend of convenience, privacy, and natural beauty. With selective tree trimming or removal, the already lovely lake views can become even more breathtaking. Set on a generous .69-acre parcel, this home welcomes you with a covered front porch that sets the tone for the comfort inside. Step into the foyer and feel the inviting atmosphere unfold. The spacious living room features open-beam wood ceilings, a cozy fireplace, a wet bar, and direct access to the expansive lakeside deck — a favorite spot for morning coffee, sunset watching, or hosting friends and family. A separate dining room captures gorgeous views, making every meal feel special. The kitchen is warm and functional, offering concrete countertops, abundant cabinetry, and a large eat-in area perfect for casual gatherings. A roomy laundry and mudroom with its own exterior entrance adds everyday practicality, especially after a day on the lake or the golf course. Downstairs includes two comfortable bedrooms, a full bath, a den area for reading or relaxing, and a wine room ready for your collection. Upstairs, the private primary suite feels like a peaceful retreat. Enjoy lake views from your window, two walk-in closets, a master bath, and an adjoining office area ideal for quiet work or creative space. Guests will love the separate sleeping area above the garage — complete with its own full bath, skylights, and plenty of natural light — offering privacy and comfort for extended stays. Throughout the home, maple hardwood flooring and newer vinyl add warmth and style. Central heat keeps the home cozy year-round, and skylights in both the main home and guest suite bring in beautiful natural light. Outside, the large deck invites relaxation, dining, and long summer evenings under the pines. The double garage, with one bay extra deep, provides ample room for lake toys, tools, or recreational gear. This is a rare opportunity to own a welcoming, well-loved lakefront home in one of Lake Almanor West’s most desirable settings — a place where memories are made and the pace of life slows down in all the right ways.
